Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
wasm-pack cannot target wasm32v1-none directly, so building and binding generation must be done manually.
This repository is a small demonstration project showing how to use two Rust graphics libraries, Wgpu and Winit, when compiling to a specific WebAssembly target called wasm32v1-none. That target is described as a no_std target, meaning the code runs without Rust's standard library, which is a more restricted and lower-level environment than a typical Rust program uses. The project is built directly on the official wgpu_examples with only small modifications, so its purpose is narrowly technical: proving that a graphics rendering setup can work in this constrained WebAssembly environment, rather than showcasing original features of its own. The README is short and sparse, and it says almost nothing about what visual output the examples actually produce or what specific graphics techniques they cover, beyond pointing to the underlying wgpu_examples project for that context. It does explain how to run the demo, though. Because the common tool wasm-pack does not support overriding its target to wasm32v1-none, the build has to be done manually with Rust's own cargo build command targeting wasm32v1-none, followed by a separate step using wasm-bindgen to generate the JavaScript bindings needed to run the compiled code in a web browser. Once built, the output can be served locally with a lightweight static file server such as miniserve, pointing it at the generated index.html file. The README also notes that on a regular native platform, without WebAssembly involved, the project can simply be run with cargo run, though the author points out that running it natively is less interesting than the WebAssembly case this project exists to demonstrate. For licensing and copyright details covering the underlying example code, the README points readers to the original Wgpu project rather than stating its own terms.
A minimal Rust example proving Wgpu and Winit graphics rendering works when compiled to the no_std wasm32v1-none WebAssembly target.
Mainly Rust. The stack also includes Rust, Wgpu, Winit.
Setup difficulty is rated moderate, with roughly 30min to a first successful run.
Mainly developer.
